History

In 2009, Luis Morales, Pastor of Vida Real Internacional, began to embark in a on a mission to aid children that live in a third world country . Not knowing where this journey would lead,

he was presented with an opportunity to visit a Dominican-Haitian community in a town called Barahona located in The Dominican Republic. As he traveled throughout the town he witnessed the immense poverty that the citizens were coping with. He was informed that the average person received about $2.50 a day working in the sugar cane fields. There were about 265 orphan children that lived in that community.These children lived helplessly under these poverty stricken conditions and lacked the most basic necessities such as food and water. Compelled to help the town Barahona, Pastor Morales was able to provide aid for the orphan children and the poor.

In addition to his travels, Morales was also able to visit another orphanage located in Haiti, which housed about 100 children, but lacked the most basic necessities to sustain life. Pastor Luis Morales was also able to help feed these children and with the help from the congregation of Vida Real Internacional, decided to help the orphanage by sponsoring the children.

Feeling compassion and empathy towards the children in need, he decided to continuously help orphans around the world, by offering things like food, water and or clothing when their communities or countries could not.In 2010, a massive earthquake stuck Haiti, leaving the country devastated and in need of help. Pastor Luis Morales travelled to Haiti in means of helping local churches and orphanages. After witnessing such devastation in Haiti God inspired him to aid children in need and therefore founded “Heart of Life.” This organization’s sole purpose is to help the poor and devastated all around globe. With headquarters located in Boston and offices located in El Salvador; Hearts of Life is determined to work internationally with others who share the same vision as Luis Morales. Currently in El Salvador, Hearts of Life is feeding about 650 kids in the local areas and is continuously working on improving the lives of other children worldwide.

FeedingtheNeedy Life

Hearts of

Currently Hearts of Life is feeding

662 children from families who live

in distinct parts of the Santa Ana

region. These children were selected

amongst a large pool of families who

are facing great poverty. Hearts of Life

seek to help those families that lack

accessibility to clean water and that

don’t have a location to store their

perishable food. Each Month Hearts

of Life transports these families to the

Hearts of Life central office in Santa

Ana and provide them with rice, water,

beans and other non-perishable

goods. On occasions Hearts of Life

also donates toys and school materials

to the children that are part of these

said families.

PROVIDING

HOMESFOR HOMELESS

Hearts of Life seeks to work

on projects that would provide

homes for the homeless. There

are many families in El Salvador

who live in rural areas, in shacks

made of scrap metal. These

families don’t have the basic

amenities that are needed in

a home. Therefore, Hearts of

Life continues on seeking and

making opportunities that will be

of blessing to these struggling

families. We believe that we can

create a difference in the lives of

many by providing the adequate

shelter that all families deserve.

As of 2012, the Mayor of the

city of Metapan has donated

3,600 acres of land to start the

building process.

than the wells built in other countries. Hearts of Life works

with a local company that is willing to drill wells for $100

dollars a meter. The regular price with other companies

varies from $125 to $150. in adition, the city will pay for the

diesel. Our organization is committed to find the help that

is needed to build these wells to provide clean and safe

drinking water to the people in need.
